It’s easy to judge budget smartphones as inferior to more costly handsets
But in the HTC Wildfire S we have a smartphone that offers features similar to pricier models. We love the unibody design that combines form and function. A 512MB internal memory can easily be upped to 32GB using a microSD card
Offering plenty of room for music

600MHz processor is a little slow
VGA video recording produces unimpressive video clips
Design
The HTC Wildfire S is slimmer and lighter than its predecessor - it only weighs 105g and it's just 101.3mm x 59.4mm in size
So you can comfortably hold and
You'd never guess it was Android 2.3
So little has changed
Under-powered processor
Disappointing video recording
No DivX/Xvid video playback
Too expensive for what's on offer
Low screen resolution
Short on internal memory.
Umer Awards last year but since then
Other phone makers have managed to produced smartphones with even more features at even lower prices. So can its sequel
The HTC Wildfire S
Fare as well in an evermore crowded market?
The dinky size isn’t for everyone. One downside to the smooth unibody is getting used to holding the thing without accidentally dropping it. You also cannot play Flash video. And even when playing non-Flash video
The HTC Wildfire S tends to struggle. Web browsing could also feel a little quicker
So overall media performance feels limited.
Slow processor means sluggish performance
Not suitable for large-handed users
Camera is disappointing
Might be bettered by legacy devices still available

If you just want to browse the web, do email, send texts and take some surprisingly decent photos and video, the Wildfire S does it in a stylish package. The display is sharp and colorful, though at 3.2", men with large hands will probably find the on...
Svelte design, Bright, colorful screen, Android 2,3 (Gingerbread) comes standard, Good camera,
Short battery life, Weak reception, Useless speakerphone,
The HTC Wildfire S isn't as impressive or as fast as high-end Android phones on T-Mobile, but it's inexpensive and offers virtually the same feature set. ...
The HTC Wildfire S offers a decent set of features for a wallet-friendly price. The Android Gingerbread device has good build quality and call quality
The smartphone's compact size won't suit everyone. The smaller display makes it a bit hard on the eyes when viewing Web sites and video, and the camera's picture quality could be better
Its small size won't please everyone, but the HTC Wildfire S is a decent, entry-level Android smartphone for a very affordable price.
It’s tempting to think that an inexpensive smartphone is going to suck, but that's not the case with HTC's Wildfire S. Even though it has some stripped down features (no front camera for video chat, no dual-core processor,) the features it does includ...
Abstract: Aaron goes in-depth with the HTC Wildfire S , T-Mobile's newest Android smartphone. Announced at Mobile World Congress earlier in the year, the Wildfire S has a 600 MHz Qualcomm CPU, 3.2-inch display, 5-megapixel camera with flash, and Android 2.3 with HT...
To wrap things up I’d have to give this device a thumbs-up. For a first time smartphone or first time Android user this would be the ideal device. Some might want something larger but for the size and everything you get it really is awesome. For someo...
Abstract: One fortunate side-effect of all the craziness going on at the expensive end of the smartphone spectrum is that more-affordable devices are starting to become faster and better. Last year’s HTC Wildfire underwhelmed us a little, with its sub-par QVGA s...

HTC's Wildfire S offers decent value for money, but doesn't come without compromises. However, those looking for a relatively compact and affordable smartphone are likely to be pleased with its combination of excellent build quality and intuitive soft...
HTC has done really well keeping the size of this phone even smaller than the original Wildfire which it replaces. It's a nifty looking phone and for a phone this small it fits beautifully in the hands. I cannot stress this enough, the dimensions are perf...
Android 2.3 for a very affordable price, dinky form factor and excellent social networking integration....
The camera is disappointing and the processor is on the sluggish side. Though it runs on Android 2.3, the Wildfire is incapable of making the most of the OS.Look and Feel...
A welcome addition to the affordable smartphone tier, but there’s nothing here to separate it from an increasingly busy crowd. ...
